My girls and I were greeted and helped as soon as we walked in the door. They were pretty busy but they got started on us right away. We all got an acrylic set done. They all came out perfect! Better than we asked. The quality is great too. She got my coffin shape perfect! Better than I have got anywhere else. They aren't thick at all but not so thin you feel as though they will break. A full set starts at $55 for plain and up from there we all got a little design of sorts... I paid $60, $70 and $70. They do take Apple Pay but they charge 3% of the total so I paid $206. I would go back 100% but probably just myself as I can't afford 200 every few weeks. I do miss when a full set was like $30.. lol

They are literally identical to the photos I bring in.

She is incredibly detail-oriented and committed to getting everything just right. Every set has come out perfect. I'm genuinely blown away by her work and her commitment to high-quality nails. She takes the time to make sure the final result matches your vision. If you have a major event, like a wedding, graduation, or anything where you want your nails to be perfect, Jackie is the person to go to. She is amazing.

I am in my 5th Year of going to this salon. When I first looked for a salon I wanted one that was…read moreclean and had appointments. All of these ladies schedules on are time, like a well-oiled machine. But instead I found something even better, a home that can take care of all of my "I deserve this" needs. The salons owner Melissa who takes care of my nails is an absolutely fabulous conversationalist but you won't hurt her feelings if you say you just rather sit and listen to your music or surf the web on your phone. Sage who does my hair. She can do any kind of hair, color, highlights extensions. If you're a guy you need a haircut or a little kid you need a haircut then Sage is your person. You've got Denise who does waxes, eyebrows, facials and a whole host of other things. There are additional Hair & Nail estheticians in the salon but I just can't remember their names at this time. All I can say is as soon as they get it a masseuse in I will be spending my entire Fridays in there. Thank goodness they are all young, well young based on my age. This means they won't be retiring soon and I will have Melissa and the whole crew for a long long time. If you are time oriented and need an appointment they are perfect if you just need to drop in they are perfect but I do suggest you call ahead if you want to drop in because they are just that busy. And one more thing you get what you pay for. You go to a cheap salon where they push people through like animals to a slaughterhouse, you get sloppy jobs. You come here and you get a super professional job and well worth every penny to look as beautiful as you can be. I dare you to be as beautiful on the outside with the help of these ladies as you are on the inside. This was written from my experience and my heart.

Let me start by saying...Melissa did my nails and I LOVED them!…read more I no longer live in Merced, but I am in town frequently to visit my family. I received botched acrylics from a nail salon in LA and I desperately needed them fixed because I couldn't look at them any longer. Melissa fit me in last minute for an appointment. She took her time fixing/reshaping/polishing my nails even though she knew I was from out of town and wouldn't be a regular client. Aside from being a talented nail tech, Melissa made the experience enjoyable because she is very friendly and easy to converse with. I wanted several specific colors and she calmly took the time helping me find them as well as the right jewels. The salon is also very clean & cute! I'd recommend this place (and Melissa) to anyone. Honestly, I wish I could come get my nails done here over any of the places I've been to in LA. It's nice knowing there's a great spot in Merced to get my nails done while I'm in town.

I've been obsessed with the new hair trend called ombre - tonal color from light to dark or dark to…read morelight but was unable to find anyone in Vegas to do it. I had met Lourdes & Irma at a trade show last year and kept their card. I called & made an appointment with Irma. I sent her a picture of what I wanted and the color spectrum (shades of pink to burgundy with gold highlights intertwined). IT IS AMAZING! It's 5 days later - and I still cannot stop looking at my hair. Not only did she do the ombre, she blended it so there is a 'natural' transition between the colors. The ombre look (see photos) can be used with most any color combo. I chose pink to burgundy but I think for fall and winter I might do orange to brown. Irma was extremely professional and patient with me. She kept me involved thought each step of the process & Kept me laughing the whole time. Once I returned to Vegas, I've had at least 8 people ask me where I got it done & when I told them, they all said it would be worth the drive. I'm going back for a touch up in September and will be scheduling a mani/pedi with Lourdes while I'm there. I cannot say enough about how much I love my hair. Another thing I love about this shop is that it is locally owned. Shop Local keeps money in the community. They are flexible with their hours and try to accommodate their client's schedules when possible. (in early or stay later) Thank you, Irma! You Rock!! Oh yes and their shop is fat chick friendly!

Both Amelia and Amy are such lovely people and I feel right at home in this salon . I happily drive from Mariposa to get my hair done here.
